If Napoli fails to beat Udinese, then their chances of qualifying for European competitions this season can be confidently ruled out.

Match Stats

Udinese has yet to recover from the poor start to this season and continues to hover on the brink of relegation to Serie B. The team has not won in almost two months and has drawn exactly half of their matches. Legendary coach Fabio Cannavaro is tasked with saving the situation, but he has very little time. Udinese is only two points away from the safety of 17th place, and besides playing against Napoli, they will face direct competitors such as Lecce, Empoli, and Frosinone. Looking at the calendar, it can be said that not all is lost yet.

The reigning champions of Italy are on the verge of a glaring failure. Their current ninth place position and five-point gap from the European qualification zone cast doubt on Francesco Calzona's future at the helm of the team. Additionally, the Italian also coaches the Slovakian national team, which does not bode well for the extension of his contract with Napoli. It seems that Napoli will get a new coach in the summer, and among the top contenders for this position is Antonio Conte.
